Hi, When creating self.client in TestCase, it would be very useful if the testcase instance was passed to the client.
I'm using a replacement client class that does various validation checks, so wants to use assert* functions on TestCase, thus takes a testcase instance as a parameter at creation time. However this means it can't be used as the client_class attribute on TestCase, as this is instantiated with no parameters (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/test/testcases.py#L475) There are work-arounds, but it feels to me like a reasonably generic requirement that a test client may want to refer to the test case it's being used with. I think the change can be made largely backwardly compatible by changing to: self.client = self.client_class(testcase=self) which would only break an existing replacement client class that had an __init__ method without **kwargs. I'm happy to code this up, but wanted to check for any objections first. Cheers, Malcolm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
